    How a 30k donation to a murderer counts as “uplifting news”? If anything it’s depressing

      Innocent until proven guilty.

      Before we engage in name calling for this suspect, know that yesterday was blatantly clear the system is stacked against him to the point where the courts did not Los him to go into PA for another legal procedure.

      See the thing here is that they were giving evidence even to MAX for the documentary and not his legal team, who correctly called some of the evidence inadmissible in court.

      So before you feel like calling him a murderer see. The facts and wait for the events to unfold.

      The donation doesn’t go to a CEO who has murdered hundreds, possibly thousands of people.

      It is going to someone who acted in defense of others. Or who might not be the person who even did that, which is why he deserves a fair trial.

      this is like saying donating to a guy who killed someone actively killing others is never uplifting news. Sure leave the school shooters alone

      They’re saying that they find due process to be lacking and the prosecution to be political.
      Do you think it’s depressing that someone would donate money to the defense of someone they think is being inappropriately prosecuted?
      If you think they’re guilty, you should still want them to get the best defense possible, so that when they’re found guilty it’s airtight. Our justice system is based on an adversarial model. If the prosecution, with the resources of the state, can’t successfully argue that they did it and that their arrest and all procedures were properly followed, do you really want that to still mean someone faces the death penalty?

        Everything is political. The sooner you get over this “I’m tired of politics, let me enjoy my doomscrolling” attitude, the more respectable you’ll be.

          No it isn’t. This is how subs like r/technology got ruined, the whole thing got filled with “political post that involves technology” instead of just “technology”.

        I think you’ll find across the spectrum, people are frustrated to the point where it’s not a political issue

        Yeah, because there’s surely not enough political communities on there already
